Gentlemen,

I purchased a New Model Ruger Blackhawk in .357 about a year ago for my first pistol. I have been quite happy with it during the short time I have owned it. I have however wondered what could be done to it to make it a more solid feeling pistol. I come from a background of shooting "precision" bolt action rifles so I'm no beginner shooter, and consider myself to be a half decent gun smith. Usually with any gun I choose it's pretty easy to find out what needs to be done to the gun to make it shoot better or tune it up, however with the Blackhawk that information seems to be tougher to find and I've done my best to research the issue.

Anyway I wanted to post my plans for the pistol and see if ya'll had any feedback or any other ideas on what I would need to do.

1.) Power Custom half-cock hammer
2.) Power Custom Trigger
3.) Wolf Spring kit (30oz trigger spring, 19lb hammer spring)
4.) Power Custom oversized cylinder latch (fit to frame/cylinder)
5.) Belt Mountain locking base pin
6.) Power Custom modified transfer bar (or mod my own if I ever figure out what needs to be done)
7.) Woodgrips.com cocobolo grips.

I am under the impression with this setup the trigger would be substantially lighter, while keeping lock-time at or faster than the factory level. It would also make the gun's lockup much tighter, and perhaps make the gun substantially more accurate, or not any difference at all depending on how the gun actually specs from the factory.

This pistol is going to pretty much be a range queen. I don't shoot CAS, and it does have a slight chance of being taken on a deer hunt but that would really only be after I find the right load for it, and feel comfortable in making the shot.

Do I have this right or do I need to re-think the whole thing?

All good changes..Would only add,If its not a Bisley.I would change the Grip Frame.

As a three time State Champion CAS and a gunsmith for cowboy shooters I offer the following advice...
For what you are doing you don't need the half cock hammer, the trigger or the modifed tansfer bar. I am more than happy to explaine why, but trust me, you don't need them.
The over size base pin is money well spent as is the oversize cylinder latch and custom grips that fit your hand. The only other thing would be the addition of a freespin pawl. But again for range and hunting use, it's not needed.

I sent you a PM.
